in the present study, a spectral finite element method is developed for free and forced transverse vibration of levy-type moderately thick rectangular orthotropic plates based on first-order shear deformation theory. levy solution assumption was used to convert the two-dimensional problem into a one-dimensional problem. in the first step, the governing out-of-plane differential equations are tr...

Abstract   In this paper elastoplastic buckling of rectangular plates with different boundary conditions are investigated. Differential governing equations of plate are obtained on the basis of general loading and according to deformation theory (DT) of plasticity. Various loading conditions contain uniaxial, biaxial and shear are studied. The employed material is AL7075T6 which is usually used...

in this study, thermo-mechanical nonlinear vibration of a polyethylene (pe) cylindrical shell embedded in an elastic foundation was investigated. the shell is reinforced by armchair carbon nanotubes (cnts) where characteristics of the equivalent composite being determined using mori-tanaka model. the elastic medium is simulated using the spring constant of the winkler-type,  . employing nonline...

In the present work, study of the vibration of a functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shell made up of stainless steel, zirconia, and nickel is presented. Free vibration analysis is presented for FG cylindrical shells with simply supported-simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary condition based on temperature independent material properties. The equations of motion are derived by Hamilton...

The effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. The third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. Equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. Parametric study ...
